Christmas at the zoo!!

Last night Maverick and I went to Christmas at the zoo! We had so much fun! 
Aunt Sarah, Aunt Lish, Aunt Kylie & Stella all went with us! 
It was the coldest night of the season so far, but we all bundled up and had a great time!
(I would like to apologize in advance for the horrible quality of the pictures. I think b/c it was so cold my phone camera was stubborn)

Aunt Sarah in the backseat with the babies. 
 Sarah snapped this on the way there!
 All bundled up and ready to go in!

 

Reindeer!
 Group shot!
We made it just in time for the first dolphin show. All of the seats were taken so we sat in the splash zone. They assured us that we "probably" wouldn't get wet :) It actually worked out great b/c I think it was the perfect seat for the babies! 


We were so close! Stella loved watching the trainer and maverick couldn't take his eyes off the dolphin! 

He really did have fun..lol 
It was so cute b/c every time the strollers were parked next to each other Maverick tried to hold Stella's hand! 


Penguins! 
  
Stella had so much fun that she passed out!! 
 We went to Santa's village to write him a letter(and to warm up).
 :)







Some lady had a wolf jacket on....I couldn't resist :) 
 We went over to the gardens so I could show the girls the tree.

 Sarah loves Harry!
 Maverick loved the stuffed penguins!
 Whew, that was a fun night!

Our Christmas tree!

This year is a little more low-key in the north pole. Maverick still likes to eat everything that he can find. He also likes to pull everything off tables, shelves, etc. 
Here is mommy's little elf helping get the tree out!
 Many hours later. It was pretty time consuming with a helper :)


 He is doing better now, but the first few days he wanted in the tree!!!


 The first snow of the season!
 I love this picture!
Merry Christmas season, everyone!

Day after Thanksgiving Extravaganza--Day 2

Day 2 we got up early and went down to a wonderful breakfast! Maverick was excited for OJ and a waffle!
Afterwards, I decided to take advantage of the indoor pool. He had a blast in his swim trunks! 
 After a quick morning nap we went to White River Gardens. WTLC was hosting a Black Santa event.
 I had never been to the gardens before. They are gorgeous! This was a free event and we even got a free photo with Santa! There were really neat trees all over the place and this one was all 'green' ornaments!








 While we were leaving we started chatting with one of the WTLC employees. She handed us free passes to the zoo!!!!!! We were so excited! My mom had not been since I was little!
This is a seahorse tree. My first ultrasound with him he looked like a little seahorse. Since that time, they have always been special to me! 
 Mammy and Mav checking out the tropical fish!

 Cousin Billy loved petting the sharks!

 Lemurs!
 Mav must have liked them b/c he offered them his shoe!






This year was so much fun! I already can't wait until next year!!!!
